I'll not only give ya VA, but I'll tie them all together...

Middlesboro beat 2A Union (the old Powell Valley) in early Oct. Union lost at home Sat. to Gate City, which plays a q/f game at Buckingham County this weekend.

Belfry took on 2A Richlands in a scrimmage. The Blues have won rematches against former District foes Graham (Bluefield), after taking an onsides kick attempt 62 yards for a TD w/:04 left, & Va. High (Bristol) in 3 OTs, after tying the game w/ 1:40 left when we stripped the ball from their RB in the red zone and took it 85 yards for the TD.
Next up is a trip to single-wing Giles on Friday, alma mater of Coach Mance.

IF Richlands and Gate City both manage to somehow win, Va. cross-brackets in the semis, so they wouldn't meet until the finals. Richlands beat GC at home in week 1.

Belfry also scrimmaged defending 1A state champ George Wythe that night. The Maroons got beat last week by Galax 51-20.

Harlan got clobbered by 1A Haysi back on the 1st. The Tigers won Sat. against that tough Galax squad which included record-setting RB Steven Peoples (502 yards in a game at Graham in mid-Oct.). Next up, a home game with Norton's J.I. Burton Sat.
